FYI, a mile west of Parker, AZ and you're in California. While Swansea is a pretty straight shot east from Parker, I'm still confused. Didn't you have a map app that uses GPS on your phone going? I still throw in an old Delorme Atlas and Gazetteer as a back up in case my plans change or roads...
No kidding but not too many people worry about range averaging 40 mph (or 29 mph for a recent Cybertruck range test posted) Far more worry about range driving longer distances at highway speed.
I wouldn't have taken the vehicle without it being fixed. While the number will be small (?3000) for Q1 2024 deliveries, I can't help wonder what else they'll get some sucker to take before the quarter ends. At this point I'd give Tesla 2 weeks to fix everything or ask permission to resale the...
They looked to be going about 20 mph but yes that was too fast for that rut. And it wasn't off-road but pretty routine desert dirt roads. The biggest mistake was driver selection. Plenty of vehicles would have escaped undamaged but certainly not all..
Honestly, I didn't think of that. But these were either 2 clueless individuals totally out of their league on routine desert dirt roads or they were actually trying to break things on the Cybertruck.
So it's safe to send 2 clueless individuals out on to mild to moderately rough dirt roads for the first time? This wasn't a race my friend. Go look at the video and see just how many seconds they had to back off the accelerator before they smacked into that rut.
Give me a break. These roads look very similar to where I taught my 10 year old son to drive. He was already about 5'4' and my wife agreed that he should be taught to drive out of remote areas in the Mojave desert in case something happened to me. We routinely went 40 minutes from pavement in...
This was a complete joke. Besides some driving on the beach and some loose sand this was on dirt roads. I'm the first to admit my off-road needs are fairly limited. However it is beyond what is shown in this video.
These tech bros seem to have never driven in the desert. In both the Sonoran and...
99% yahoo driver error but still not a good look for the Cybertruck.
The driver wearing a helmet and googles to drive dirt roads was a big tip off he was totally clueless.
Honestly the Cybertruck looks kind of weak even if your video quality is good. Let's face it, the Cybertruck is more of an urban vehicle than a Rivian or many Subarus. My wife's Subaru Forester Wilderness would destroy that creaking urban vehicle on the same mild challenge.
I'm retiring again effective tomorrow. So my employer paid gross income reverts back to $0. My first retirement only lasted 6 months. In 27 months I've worked for 3 different employers and have been paid $28K to $64k a month. All but 3 months have been a lot closer to the low end of that range...
